Best Casual Restaurants in Central Phoenix

Over the years, the food, service, and venue have remained consistently very good. We visited for a lunch to celebrate a retirement today, and the customer service and good was great. Thank you.

We were promptly seated on an indoor outdoor patio. All of the servers were attentive and friendly. The manager also checked on us a couple of times which was nice. It wasn’t intrusive. It was just a brief ‘Can I get you anything?’ which is always welcome. We ordered several appetizers, some noodles and a couple of entrées and just shared them with the table to get a taste of a bunch of different things. They did a great job at coursing out the food. The order was exactly as we had placed it. The timing was perfect and the food was very creative and delicious. The ambience is very cozy and charming. The restaurant wasn’t too loud, but it still had a good energy to it. My husband and I are debating if it is our new favorite restaurant in Phoenix. It is pretty exceptional in many ways. I highly recommend.

Food was great. They recommended their special flaming cheese appetizer and it was delicious. The salmon and lamb shank were also delicious. The service was not up to our expectations as there were a lot of staff standing around and our server was too quick to disappear and the appearances in between were spotty. Our expectation would be the staff standing around would be working as a team and this was not the case, not for the price level of this place, we expected better in terms of the service. Compliments to the kitchen, but suggest you get the front of house up to the same level.

Our first time here to celebrate my wife’s birthday. They are sticklers with your reservation time…no sooner, no later. The ambiance was like that of a movie set. They had a birthday card waiting on our table for my wife. The heaters were a nice balance to the outside air. Our waiter Solomon was charismatic, knowledgeable and offered great recommendations. Very impressed with the quality of food…bruschetta, short braised ribs and complimentary dessert for my wife’s birthday. We’ll definitely be coming back. Thank you for a delightful experience!!!

We had a great experience! Our server was great and the food was amazing!
